To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HEINRICH EITEL, a subject of the King of Prussia,residing at Dusseldorf, in the Kingdom of Prussla and German Empire,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating toIron Windows, of which the following is a specification.

My invention has for its object a window of fashioned iron which restsin a window frame composed of bars rabbeted stepwise, the space existingon both sides between the sash frame and the window frame being covered.

In my new window the sash frame is provided with rabbeted putty bars forthe glass pane. These putty bars cover the putty completely so that thelatter can not loosen and fall out. The sash frame may be formed in sucha manner that between it and the window frame a channel-like e. g.U-shaped cavity is provided for the reception and housing of fasteningmembers, connecting angle pieces for the joints or antifriction members,such as rollers or the like, to insure the ready opening and closing ofthe window and prevent binding.

A window embodying my invention -is illustrated by way of example in theaccompanyin-g drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a cross section,

Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the window in an iron frame subdividedby middle post and transom.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the window, the sash frame being formedwith a channel-like cavity.

Fig. 4 is a vertical section of one part of the window, the fashionediron for the sash frame being provided with cover strips fixed thereon.

Fig. 5 is a partial line A-A in Fig. 4.

Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate a sash frame rail with rigid and detachablecover strip.

Figs. 8 and 9 show part of a cover strip and also a portion of a sashframe rail.

horizontal section along latter Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate two differentconstructional forms of the fashioned irons used for the formation ofthe window frame.

Fig. 12 is a perspective of the iron on which the putty rests.

The sash frame formed of the fashioned irons a ismounted in thefashioned irons c and ai constituting the window frame and being formedwith a rabbet of stepped crosssection, as moreparticularly shown inFigs. l() and 1l. The fashioned irons a can be formed on their bearingfaces, either solid (Figs. l and 2) or with a channel-like (e. g.U-shaped) cavity l (Figs. 3 to 5).

case the cavity l may serve for the reception and housing of locking orclosing members or of antifriotion devices such as rollers m or the liketo facilitate the opening and closing of the window. The sash isprovided with a putty bar b, which may either be screwed, to thefashioned-iron a (Figs. l to 3), or may be made integral therewith(Figs. 4 and 5), the said putty bar affording a means for covering andclosing the joint between the outer fixed frame c, d and the movablesash a, thus serving as a packing medium. The vertical branch j of thefashioned iron a located opposite the putty bar b may, like this bar, beprovided with an edge projecting toward the glass pane g, thisprojection covering thel putty which rests in the cavity w,therebypreventing the putty from falling out. Owing to the detachablefixing means of the putty bar b, the insertion or replacement of thewindow glass panes can readily be effected. When the sash frame iron ais formed as shown in Figs. 4 to 7, the amount of putty placed aroundthe glass pane can be limited by the insertion of separate strips -z' ofwood, or metal. These strips are arranged as shown in the sash frame andare secured thereto by nails or screws. The lower cross bar of each sashframe may be vprovided with a ledge )t projecting outwardly andextending over the joint between the sash this ledge preventing rain orsnow riveted or otherwise fixed' In the f nennen@ from entering into thejoint et the place the snsh having inwardly projecting edges where' theeosin :ironie nni winoiow freine to securely hold theputty in piece, ondsepnf moet, l rete strips placed in the snsh to reduce the En theconstruction shown in Figs. 3 to 5 amount of putty. 5 the 'sash frame isformed with n channel ln testimony whereof 1I have nxed my 15 in whichentifriction rollers m are mountsignature in presence of two witnesses.
